Though you can't argue with the numbers from this table, however, you need to understand that in reality some processors and video cards will not be capable to work together. For such cases, FPS is calculated theoretically according to the formula based on the performance of the Radeon RX 6800 XT and the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X separately.
